Description

Problem Description

Users who need to work with PyStan in Windows and Mac OS environments face issues due to the lack of clear documentation on how to install and use it.

Potential Solution

I have created a dockerized version of PyStan to overcome this issue, which is available at https://github.com/dbonattoj/docker-pystan. This version runs on Windows without any hassle.

To address this problem, the PyStan documentation should include similar solutions to make it easier for users to work with the package in different environments.

Review the PyStan documentation entry points and the referenced docker-pystan repository to determine where installation guidance belongs. Document a Docker-based workflow for running PyStan on Windows and Mac OS, with enough instructions for users to install and use it successfully.
